Why don't you conceive of God as an ally who is coming, who has been approaching since time began, the one who will someday arrive, the fruit of a tree whose leaves we are? Why not project his birth into the future, and live your life as an excruciating and lyrical moment in the history of a prodigious pregnancy?
Rainer Maria Rilke
Think... of the world you carry within you.
Rainer Maria Rilke
I feel it now: there's a power in me to grasp and give shape to my world I know that nothing has ever been real without my beholding it. All becoming has need me.
Rainer Maria Rilke
What keeps you from... living your life as a painful and lovely day in the history of a great pregnancy?
Rainer Maria Rilke
Space for the Spirit to breathe.
Rainer Maria Rilke
There is only one journey. Going inside yourself.
